Lincoln 's purpose in this excerpt was to convey the message that the country was not ready to take on the issue of slavery. At the time of this speech Lincoln was comparing slavery to trying to ride a young horse. If the country were to jump on the issue of slavery, while public opinion was still unsure it would divide the country, like a rider that is most likely to fall of an unbroken horse. Lincoln also was cautious in that he wanted to look into the topic of slavery more, but at some point, the country would have to face the issue, and try to come up with a compromise on slavery, and the issues that surround it. Otherwise the country would be divided and that is not what Lincoln desired.

Lachlan and Shaun are sitting in the shed eating breakfast when I pull up. Walking into the make shift staff room, I narrow my eyes on the freshly boiled jug. Taking my time, I make a cup of coffee before joining them at the battered old table. None of us speak immediately, instead we all sit in silence, wrapped up in our own thoughts… well at least I know I am. Spending the night with a chick is nothing new.

Even on the way to Auschwitz there were ways you could have died according to page 23 it said “There was little air the lucky ones found themselves near a window”. If you had not gotten enough air you could have suffocated and died before you even made it to Auschwitz. From the time you got on
It left me and I was remembering a thought about a hunchback who asked me if he could sleep in my shop until it was dark, as he was a lamplighter. I agreed to let him and he went to sleep on an examination table. I aided four people and the last required us to use another examination table, at that time I saw the hunchback under a cloth on the table, which I assumed he had put over himself because of the frigid temperature of the room.
